Meaney, Evan J

Professor

I am very interested in how gaming (video games and social games) can be used as educational tools. I believe that video games can have the same social and educational impact as any documentary. I hope to use my skills in informatics and gaming to co-develop gaming components for interdisciplinary research projects.
